Jeremy, who is the captain of one of the big three exy teams.
Jeremy, who is like a ray of sunshine in a rather dark world.
Jeremy, who never cusses.
Jeremy, who is slowly learning more about Jean and the Nest.
Jeremy, who prefers to stay with friends than family.
Jeremy, whose world no one knows about.
Jeremy, who is the avoidant narrator that he is.
Jeremy, who may be darker than we all realize.
Jeremy, who despites the fact that he holds something dark still tries to be the source of sunshine in people’s day.
Jeremy, who tries, makes mistakes, and still pushes on.
Oh Jeremy, I need to know more about you. I don’t think you’re okay but I know you’re trying.
I will probably make more posts about this because it is something I feel so strongly about. I have seen SO many people wishing we'd had Andrew's POV but I am so glad we didn't. As a writer, I am ashamed at how long it took me to understand the GENIUS of Andrew's character. When writing a story, there are precisely THREE ways to relay what your characters are thinking and feeling to the reader: 1. Dialogue 2. Internal Monologue 3. Descriptions of Expression/Body Language And you need to do all three really well to make it real, natural, and believable. You have to trust your reader to understand what you're trying to say without outright saying it. This task is made all the more difficult when you don't have #2, the internal monologue. Secondary characters are ONLY understood through what they say and what emotions they show on their face and in their body language. To write a character that BARELY speaks and is INFAMOUS for having an expressionless face is the greatest show of RESTRAINT I have ever seen in a writer and it worked SO beautifully. The number of times we desperately want to know what Andrew is thinking and feeling and I BET Sakavic was twice as desperate to show us, to tell us straight out "ANDREW IS INFATUATED!" But she didn't. She stuck so perfectly to Andrew's character and GAVE US NOTHING and TRUSTED us to read between the lines to find truth. That's not even to mention the entire time Andrew was on his meds. As a writer, we want nothing more than for our readers to KNOW our characters the way we do. I can only imagine how infuriating (but also delightfully challenging) it was for Sakavic to write Andrew knowing most of what he was doing and saying was because of the meds and his promises. I could scream this from the rooftops. Sakavic deserves so much praise for this alone. I won't EVEN get into Neil's character and the relationship dynamics between every single character and every other character too. Andrew is literary genius, imo.
I was gonna try other ideas for January’s patreon sticker but I think we might’ve got it in one here. Air jail for the feral striker
